Something that can make a massive impact on your health, wellbeing, and fat loss journey, and that is planning.👊Over the years I’ve seen time & time again how a few intentional steps can change the game, both for me & for my clients who are navigating a busy life.🙌Life is unpredictable. Between work, family, household tasks, & trying to squeeze in “me” time, decision fatigue can creep in fast. If you’re juggling deadlines, kids’ schedules, & your own health goals, it’s easy to slip into old habits, grab takeaways or microwave meals, skip workouts, or default to the easiest option in the moment.😩When we leave meals & workouts to chance, overwhelm follows, and so do choices that don’t serve our goals and that’s where a simple plan can help.🥳A quick daily plan can help you stay on track because it…1) Reduces decision fatigueBy deciding on your meals, workouts & amount of steps you’re going to do ahead of time, you eliminate those last-minute choices that can lead to unhealthy decisions. For example, if you plan for a chicken salad at lunch time but end up at a restaurant that doesn’t have it, you’re more likely to choose something similar, like a tasty tuna or Greek salad, rather than a heavy dish like fried chicken & chips or lasagna.🤩2) Stay on trackWhen you have a plan, even if your day takes unexpected turns, you’re more likely to stick to healthy alternatives. It keeps your goals at the forefront of your mind, guiding you toward better choices throughout the day.💪3) Boost motivation and momentumKnowing you have a plan in place can inspire you to take action. Even if you can’t complete your workout as intended, having it mapped out increases the likelihood of squeezing in some activity. Every little bit counts! 20 sit-ups or 20 squats instead of nothing is always a good thing!🏋🏻♂️Remember, while your plans and reality may not always align perfectly, you’re much more likely to make healthier choices when you have a plan in place. 😁Planning helps pave the way to happier, healthier days!Remember, progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency & self-compassion, especially through perimenopause.🩷
